Branhamella catarrhalis
A modified oxidation-fermentation medium was developed as a practical medium for highly sensitive and specific detection of acid production from carbohydrates by Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis. A total of 756 strains representing 17 Neisseria spp. and Branhamella catarrhalis were tested in this medium, in which the protein concentration was reduced relative to the carbohydrate conce...
متن کاملPneumonia due to Branhamella catarrhalis.
In 12 of 451 patients diagnosed as having pneumonia in a single hospital over 18 months the causative organism appeared to be Branhamella catarrhalis.
متن کاملDisk diffusion susceptibility testing of Branhamella catarrhalis with ampicillin and seven other antimicrobial agents.
A total of 74 clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis were characterized with respect to their ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, cephalothin, cefaclor, erythromycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole MICs and zones of inhibition. Disk diffusion tests were performed according to the guidelines of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards with...
متن کاملBranhamella catarrhalis: epidemiology, surface antigenic structure, and immune response.
Over the past decade, Branhamella catarrhalis has emerged as an important human pathogen. The bacterium is a common cause of otitis media in children and of lower respiratory tract infections in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. B. catarrhalis is exclusively a human pathogen. It colonizes the respiratory tract of a small proportion of adults and a larger proportion of children....
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Branhamella catarrhalis isolates from bronchopulmonary infections.
Fifty-four clinical isolates of Branhamella catarrhalis from patients with bronchopulmonary infections were studied. The MICs for 50 and 90% of the isolates and the geometric mean MICs were determined for 11 antimicrobial agents. All the strains were resistant to trimethoprim but were susceptible to clavulanate-potentiated amoxicillin (Augmentin; Beecham Research Laboratories, London), chloramp...
